To hazard a guess, IE was preserving the IP address for the former www.wikipedia.com (130.94.122.195) in some sort of cache. The new www.wikipedia.com (130.94.122.197) has the new live server.
When I try it at 130.94.122.195, I get an error page with a Nupedia logo. But if you copied down the wrong IP #, then that seems reasonable.
130.94.122.195 is shared between a bunch of named virutal servers; you'll only get Wikipedia out of it if your browser tells the server that it's expecting to talk to "www.wikipedia.com".
That would explain why wikipedia.com still gives the old page.
